Pain Management

Introduction to pain management

At Valiant Physio , we treat many pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder and knee pain.
Physiotherapists play an important role in the management of acute and chronic pain. After a thorough assessment, we will make a treatment plan together with you to help reduce pain and address the roots of your symptoms to prevent reoccurrence.
Physiotherapy treatment to relieve your pain may include soft tissues massage and stretching to relieve tension and spasm, joint mobilisations, acupuncture, electrotherapy, corrective exercise, posture awareness, and advice on how to overcome pain in your daily activities. We will also help you to understand the cause of your pain.
Through our years of experience and evidence-based practice we believe that a combination of manual treatment and muscle re-education is the most effective treatment. The sooner you see one of our physiotherapists the sooner we can start to help you.
